Description:

I have loved this antiwar ballad ever since I first heard it sung by Fred Hellerman of The Weavers, who wrote the song. Among those who have covered it are Harry Belafonte, Judy Collins, The Mamas and the Papas, Kenny Rankin, Tim Rose, Bobbie Gentry, Uriah Heep and UFO.

You can hear the original song, sung by Fred Hellerman, if you go to MathTeacherGuy's channel. The Weavers were a wonderful folk group made up of Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman, Ronnie Gilbert and, for a short time, Erik Darling - all excellent performers in their own right.

...and I always thought it was a Tim Rose song! Good, if different version, here . Don't know anything about The Weavers....

Hi, first time I heard this was Uriah heep in the early 70's and it has always been with me. Nice to hear this rendition. Makes sense to me now it was a folk song.
